Yeah, I think you're in the minority. I can't recall even my PB crashing, and the final release seems to be fairly solid, so far as I've seen so far. Not a single crash. What problems I do have come mostly from applications.

Y'know when you make a new user, and in his folder, there's a buncha other folders (Pictures, Sites, Desktop, Library, etc.)? Well, I just found the file that contains that. It's actually a tarsomethingorother archive, and you can find it at...

Yay for the Option key! It's actually amazing how many different things are changed by it. Our old friend...

Okay, here's the deal, yo: You can change anything and everything in your user folder. I'm pretty sure not much else. If you're an admin, you can change things in the applications folder, and I believe other user's folders. You can change things in the Library folder. You cannot change...

Okay, aliases to folders might not work... but why would you need to put an alias in the dock? The whole thing about the dock is that it doesn't actually store your folder in there, it just.. uh.. makes an alias to it. So you shouldn't NEED to put a folder alias in the dock. VGZ... I couldn't...

I pretty much agree with Dogma's take on the situation. It's for people who are... more that just computer users. If you like to tinker, it's lovely. If you like staring at the genie effect and all the other Quartz features, it's friggin' rad. But if you're the type who starts yelling and...

As far as I've been able to tell through my wanderings in forums, there is no way to turn off the animations though. I suppose Apple should have built in an option to do that, but then their OS just wouldn't have the same... new agey feel to it, y'know? BTW, if you don't want all them great...

Yeah, I hear yah. It is rather annoying. Perhaps that info might be stored in a plist somewhere?

Yeah, I feel the same way. Apparently TinkerTool doesn't work, it only affects other things. I'm sure, if you really really wanted to, that you could find the Apple Menu executable file, figure out where the font is stored in it, and then change it. Why, I remember back in the PB when it was the...

I've got a secondary monitor plugged into my Pismo. And then I decided that, nah, I didn't really need the second monitor, so I unplugged it. Later on, it was time for a reboot after changing something or other, and I went off to eat dinner after clicking restart. And hour later, I come back...

Well well well... going back to the original topic of this discussion, I seem to have discovered a cure. Although I'm not sure what adverse affects it might have. Whilst digging around in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder, I found Classic Startup. Of course, I knew it was there all along...

Yes, I do feel the same way. So far for me, though, Fire's been working reasonably well with AIM. Of course, you can always use the Classic version, but who wants to do THAT?

Yeah, installing over your PB isnt' good for anything. Basically, when you install the final over the PB, it just updates everything. It keeps all of your preferences, keeps root enabled, etc. etc. BUT... you lose funtionality. I did this at first, and many things just didn't work. All in all...

Yeah, you're right. One less thing in the dock, seamless integration, all that good stuff. It's just that I like to keep track of what's going on in my system. And if I'm going to boot a Classic app, I like to know whether or not Classic is gonna have to start up, 'cause if it does have to start...

Well, I got my copy FedExed to me today. I promptly installed it over my PB, realized that was dumb, erased my OS X partition, installed 9.1 off the CD which came with X, installed X, and here we are. Countless hours later, I think I've finally got it all set up just the way I want it. Not...

OS X doesn't support 9.1 for Classic. You have to have 9.0.4 or earlier. That could be a reason why it's not working for you.

I know. I hate everyone that has something better than a 56k, because I can't get DSL or cable where I am. My friend across town downloaded Oni for me... He was like, "It's only going at 150 k/sec, it's soooo slow right now." And I was all, "I'd kill everyone in my neighborhood for phenomenal...

I dunno. I seem to recall having a similar problem on my iMac, same model, Pro keyboard. I suppose it's possible that it's a bug in OS X, although you'd think that keyboard support would be something that would be finished...

Well, I don't know if this'll work, and you've probably already tried it, but it's worth a shot. In Terminal, go up to the font menu, then select show fonts. Select the font that you want. Now, that may not work, seeing as how Webdings and Zapf Dingbats (which are symbol fonts) only show boxes...

I can HELP! Yes indeedy, this very same problem has happened to me multiple times. I believe it happens when you go about changing your file permissions. Now, the important thing to understand here is that we're dealing with UNIX. That means that the permissions that you can set through the...
